Garnier Olia Ammonia Free Hair ColorOlia 8.31 - Medium Golden Blonde

DISCONTINUED

PRODUCT INFORMATION:

We no longer offer this product, we have something even better to meet your needs. Find it here.

The oil powered technology propels colorants deep into the hair, without ammonia, giving you pure, vivid, long-lasting color. Olia visibly improves and restores hair as the oils help to reverse roughness and dullness for more brilliant, long-lasting color. Hair is hydrated, silky, and 3x shinier.

Is this shade right for me?

Garnier Olia shade 8.31, "Medium Golden Blonde," adds brilliant golden tones to your hair with a touch of cool reflects to prevent your result from looking too yellow. It is best for anyone with natural hair between light blonde and light brown. If you would like a lighter shade that reflects similarly, try shade 9.3.

If you would like to remain in the medium blonde range but would like to explore other reflects and tones, try shade 8.0, or for a slightly ligther shade, try 8 1/2.03.

*For women with currently color treated hair, there are special considerations for the color result you can achieve. Because of this, we do not recommend shade 8.31 for hair that has been previously colored shade 6.0, "Light Brown," or darker. For more help, use our Shade Selector Tool to find the perfect shade for you!

How to use:

Applying Olia: A Sensorial Experience
Olia transforms coloring your hair into a new sensorial experience. Because Olia is ammonia-free, it won't irritate your scalp and there is no harsh ammonia smell. Instead, Olia has a delicate floral scent. And, its non-drip, velvety cream texture helps provide optimal comfort during application.

Follow this step-by-step process when applying color at home:

1) Always do a skin test 48 hours before.
2) Apply to dry, unwashed hair.
3) Apply gloves, snap off tip and remove the cap of the Developer Bottle and add Colorant.
4) Shake the bottle vigorously to mix.
5) Start applying color at the roots, then away from roots to the tips.
6) Extend color through to the ends and massage into hair.
7) Leave formula on for 30 minutes.
8) Massage hair thoroughly before rinsing to optimize rinsing process.
9) Rinse hair thoroughly until water runs clear.
10) Apply conditioner after color and leave on for two minutes, then rinse thoroughly.

Love the Olia line of hair colour.I love this shade and product, especially that it doesn't smell like ammonia or burn your scalp. Sad it is being discontinued. Hope the replacement is just as nice.

Wow! Love this color.Well, tried this color because I wanted to go slightly darker than light blonde. I really like this color. It stays natural blonde looking, and doesn't go up in color so much as the 9.0 blonde. I have a lot of gray, so I needed a color to bring down the blonde a bit, and this one seems to do that. It looks more natural, and I like that. Please don't discontinue this product, it works for me, and I think it would work for other people too, who are trying to have a blonde that seems natural. Thanks for this product Garnier. Keep up the good work!

Never AgainWhen I saw this, I had to try it. After all, I buy organic, use natural products and natural remedies, so this haircolor with the oils and without ammonia would be great! Wrong! I used it twice just to be sure of what I was seeing and I was. First off, it changed the texture of my hair that has since taken six months of using other products to correct. My previously smooth and manageable hair felt like straw. Secondly, I my hair fell out by the handfuls. Thankfully, it is coming back but it will be a long time before it stops being so thin and I will be back to my normally thick head of hair. As to the color, it was much too dark for what it should have been. I love Garnier shampoor and conditioner or at least I did until I couldn't find the Long and Strong Fructis brand anymore, but I went back to using my other brand of hair color . I love the IDEA of this color but that is the only thing I like about it.

Won't Buy AgainAfter using another brand for years I thought I'd try Olia. I don't have much gray except for at the hairline near my ears. I wash my hair every other day so I know the color won't last as long as others that wash less frequently. I didn't have problems with coverage or lasting with my other brand. With Olia though color doesn't last even 10 days. I love the color and it does last on hair that isn't gray but if you have ANY gray don't bother with this product. A week or 2 of color is just not worth buying this.

Not greatI usually color my brown hair blond with another brand with great results. When I saw this new product promising to be gentle while coloring, I was excited to give it a try. My hair is not any softer and the color is no where near as good. It is not horrible, just darker than I like. My hair that was blond from previous coloring turned a light brown. The dark roots are darker than the rest of the hair. If you are only making a slight color difference this product will be fine. When making a big change from your regular color, no good at all.
